In "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", Ambrose Bierce includes a flashback in Section II in order to:

A) provide important background information and maintain reader suspense.

In Section I, no name was given about the character, only his present state and thinking was relayed. In Section II, the character was introduced as well as the event which the readers can infer as the cause of his situation stated in Section I.
